A cook book is a very necessary article;
so is a
BANK BOOK
A checking account with a bank is a
convenience no housekeeper should
be without. By paying your bills by
checks you are enabled not only to
keep your accounts straight, but you
have receipts for all disbursements — in
the cancelled checks which are re-
turned to you.
In our Savings Department interest at
4 percent., (compounded and credited
semi-annually) is allowed, and small
deposits receive the same careful at-
tention that is given to large ones. An

Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1908 by the Second Auxiliary Missionary
Society of tlie Presbyterian Church of Warren, Pa., in the office of Librarian of
Congress at Washington.
PREFACE, ^^r
The Second Auxiliary Missionary Society, formerly the Young
Ladies' Missionary Society, of the Presbyterian Church of Warren,
Pa., takes great pleasure in offering the third edition of '' The
Warren Cook Book " to the public.
For twenty years The Warren Cook Book has been a guide
in many homes, receiving the highest commendation from those
who have followed its directions.
The demand for the book increases with each edition. The
last edition, (less than five years old), has been carefully revised
and enlarged and made up-to-date in every particular.
The new book has behind it the experience of one hundred
practical housekeepers. Each department has been compiled in a
most careful manner by the person whose name appears at the head
of the department.
It is believed the new edition of The Warren Cook Book will
meet the dem.inds of the average housekeeper better than many
books which sell for double the price.
The Society takes this opportunity to thank all its patrons
of the past and to bespeak for the new book the generous support
which has been accorded The Warren Cook Book in the years
that have gone by.

SOUPS. xz
SOUPS
Mrs. H. A. Booth
Nothing furnishes a bettrr foutidatioii t'of soup than a shank
of beef; if veal is added the fiavor will be more delicate; the bones
^broken in small pieces), are a valuable addition. Always put the
meat to cook in cold water, for all the juices are required for the
soup, and if the meat is put into boiling water the pores will be
closed and the juices retained. Do not allow it to boii rapidly, but
irt the kettle stand on the back part of the range and simmer slow-
ly; remove the scum that rises to the top and add a little cold watei
occasionally to keep it from boiling until it has been thoroughly
skimmed and your soup will then be clear. A skillful cook will be
careful that no pungent flavor predominates, but all are so blendea
;is not to suggest any one in particular, except in cases where only
the flavor of one vegetable is desired. When you can make a good
stock you have the foundation of all soups and can have a new soup
(•very day by adding different flavorings or vegetables. Be careful
pbout the quantity of salt; remember it is easier to add than to take
away that seasoning.
SOUP STOCK.
1 shin of beef. 5 quarts of cold water. 1 onion, 1 carrot. 1 tur-
ni]). 2 bay leaves. 1 sprig of j^arsley. 12 cloves. 1 stalk celery, ]
tal)lespoon salt. Lean, uncookc<l. juicy beef should t'onu the basis
of your soup; wipe the meat well with a damp towel; now cut all
the meat from the bones; place the bones in the bottom of a large
kettle; lay the meat on top of them; add the water and stand the
kettle on the back part of the range for an hour; then place it over
-1 good fire; after about 80 minutes the scum of the meat will gather
on the surface, and the Avater will begin to steam ; now place it over
a more moderate fire; add 1 cup of cold water aiul skim off the
scum; now cover the kettle closely and let it siiuiiu'i- (not boil) for
•1 hours; then add the vegetables and simuici" one hour longer; then
strain the stock through a fine sieve; add the salt and stand at
once in a cold place. If you keep it in a warm i)lace it will not nuike
a nice jelly. When cold take all the grease from the surface and it
is ready for use. Mi-s. Rorer.
WHITE SOUP STOCK.
Select meat that is much fresher tiiaii for roasting. Cut tlie
meat, about 4 poiuids of veal, Vi of which is Ijone, into several
pieces; ])ut the whole into the soup kettle, and then add 2 (|1s. cold
water, and heat, gradually, to the boiling iioint . LiM siiinncr tbre.^
18 THE WARKEN COOK BOOK
or four hours; then add 1% teaspoons of salt, 8 or 10 peppercorns
or a part of a sweet red-pepper pod, a sprig of parslej^ 3 or 4 cloves.
V-2 l^^ay leaf, li/o teaspoons sweet herbs, and 2 tablespoons, each of
chopped celery and onion. Continue the cooking until the meat is
tender. Remove the meat for use in hash or other made dishes,
and strain off the broth. There should be three pints or a little
loss of broth. If there be more, let simmer until reduced to that
quantity. A fowl cooked in the broth will make the broth mucli
richer. It will be no detriment to the fowl to be thus cooked.

FISH
Mrs. J. O. Parmlee
Fish are easier of digestion but less nutritious than meats. To
be eatable they should be perfectly fresh, those being most perfect
which go straight from their native element into the hands of the
cook.
HOW TO TELL WHEN PERFECTLY FRESH.
The eye should be clear, the gills red, the scales bright, the
f.esh firm. After fish are dressed and cleaned, rinse thoroughly in
cold water, using only what is necessary for perfect cleanliness,
drain, wipe dry and place on ice until ready to cook.
To remove the earthy taste from fresh water fish, especially
bass, sprinkle with salt and let stand over night or a few hours be-
fore cooking, rinse off and wipe dry. Fresh water fisb should never
be soaked in water, except when frozen, when they may be placed
in ice-cold water to thaw and then immediately cooked.
Salt fish may be soaked over night in cold water (skin side up),
changing water once or twice if very salt. Fish should always be
well cooked, being both unpalatable and unwholesome when under-
done.
One of the most essential things in serving fish is to have
everything hot and quickly dished, so that all may go to the table
at once.
The method of cooking which retains most nourishment is broil-
ing, baking next and boiling poorest of all. Steaming is better than
boiling.
BAKED BLUEFISH.
To bake a bluefish lay some slices of larding pork in the bottom
of a baking pan ; over this sprinkle a large onion chopped fine ; put
about 4 slices of bread on top of the chopped onion ; then lay the
fish in, having had it dressed at the market for baking; slice the
fish across the backbone in four or five places, and insert in each
gash a piece of the larding pork; lay some strips of the pork over
the surface of the fish; season well with salt and pepper; dredge
with flour; cover the fish with another pan; stand it in a quick oven
and bake till the flakes of the fish separate from the backbone ; then
serve in the pan in which it is baked. Have a dish of quarters
of lemon served with the fish. New boiled potatoes are the proper
accompaniments to baked blue-fish. This baked fish with potatoes,
followed by a salad of lettuce, green peppers and Spanish onions,
makes an excellent dinner without anything else.
26 THE WARREN COOK BOOK
BAKED SALMON.
Drain the liquor from one can salmon ; pick to pieces ; work in
1 tablespoon melted butter, salt, pepper, 2 eggs, 1 cup bread crumbs,
a little milk ; put in a buttered bowl or baking powder can ; set in
pan of boiling water; cook in a hot oven 1 hour.
SAUCE.
Make a cup drawn butter; add liquor from can, 1 beaten egg,
pepper, salt, 1 chopped pickle and minced parsley ; boil up and pour
over fish or serve as gravy. Mrs. A. R. Blood.
BAKED SHAD.
Clean and wash thoroughly inside and out ; wipe with clean
towel; rub it well with salt; make a dressing of 1 cap stale bread
crumbs, 1 tablespoon chopped parsle\, salt, pepper arnl melted but-
ter; stuff fish and sew it up with soft yarn. Now score one side of
the fish about two inches apart, and put a strip of salt pork in each
gash; place slices of pork on bottom of dripper and rest the fish on
these; dredge thickly with salt, pepper and flour; bake in warm-
oven fifteen minutes to every pound of fish ; garnish with lemon
slices, potato balls and parsley. Mrs. Parmlee.
SHAD ROE.
Cover the roe with boiling salted water to which a teaspoon of
■vinegar has been added and boil gently from eight to ten minutes.
Remove from fire; drop into cold water and cool slightly; roll in a
mixture of milk and egg and then in cracker crumbs ; fry in butter,

BROILED FISH.
This is one of the nicest ways qf cooking bluefish, mackerel,
large trout, shad and white fish. Rub your broiler with a piece of
suet before putting the flsh in . A fish weighing four pounds will
take a half hour to cook over a moderate fire. When the fish is
done, separate it carefully from the broiler with a knife, sprinkle
with salt and pepper and spread with butter. It is now ready to
serve. For broiling, the fish should be split down the back.

LOBSTER.
Never buy a dead lobster. The male is preferred; the female
for sauces and soups. The female has a broader tail and less claws
Ihan the male. If possible, always boil the lobster at home; but
in some localities, where it is necessary to buy them boiled, see that
the tail is stitf and elastic ; so that when you bend it out, it springs
back immediately; otherwise they were dead before boiling. Lob-
sters boiled when dead are watery and soft; they are very unwhole-
some, even to a dangerous degree.
TO OPEN A LOBSTER.
Separate the tail from the body and twist off all the claws ;
shake out carefully the tom-alley (this is the liver and may be known
by its greenish color) ; also the coral. Then draw the body from
the shell, remove the stomach, which is found immediately under
the head and throw this away, now split the body through the cen-
ter and pick the meat from the cells; cut the underside of the tail
shell; loosen the meat and take it out in one solid piece; now split
the meat of the tail open and you will uncover a little vein running
its entire length; this remove. The vein is not always the same
color; sometimes it is red; sometimes black and sometimes white;
but in all cases it must be taken out and thrown away. The stom-
ach or lady, the vein and the spongy fingers between the body and
sliell, are the only parts not eatable. Crack the claws and take out
the meat. Philadelphia Cook Book.

Meantime peel an onion, slice it thin; put it over the fire in 2 ounces
of butter ; let it begin to turn yellow ; then stir smoothly into it 2
ounces of flour, the minced clams and their broth : 1/2 pt. cream
or milk ; 1 saltspoon of salt, V4 of a saltspoon each of grated nutmeg
nnd white pepper, and a dash of cayenne; the mixture should be as
thick as for ordinary croquettes, and if the clams do not yield suffic-
ient juice, substitute milk for it ; let the mixture simmer where it
will not burn for twenty minutes ; remove it from the fire ; stir into

catsup. Mrs. Gruninger.
PLANKED SHAD.
This is the very best way of cooking shad : — The plank should
be 3 inches thick, 2 feet long, li/o feet wide, and of well seasoned hick-
ory or oak. Pine or soft wood gives the fish a woody taste. Take
a fine shad just from the water; scale; split it down the back; clean
it; wash well and wipe dry; dredge it with salt and pepper; place
(he plank before a clear fire to get very hot; then spread the shad
open and nail it skin next the hot plank with tacks; put it before
the fire with the large end down. In a few minutes turn the board
so that the other end will be down. To tell Avhen it is done pierce
it with a fork; if the flesh be flakey. it is done. Spread with butter;
serve on the plank or draw the tacks carefully, and slide the shad
onto a hot dish. The white fish caught in the lakes when cooked in
this manner are excellent. "Sirs,. Parker.

MEATS AND SAUCES
Mrs. F. P. Hue
BEEF.
The qviality of beef depends on the age of the creature, and man-
ner of feeding". Good beef should be firm and of fine grained tex-
ture, bright red in color, and well mottled and coated with fat.
The fat should be firm, and of a yellowish color. Suet should be dry
and crumble easily. Meat should be removed from paper as soon
as it comes from the market, otherwise the paper absorbs some of the
juice.
Keep meat in a cool i)laee. Always wipe beef before cooking,
with a cheesecloth wrung out of cold water, but never allow it to
stand in cold water. Inattention to the temperature of the water
and too early application of salt causes great waste in boiling meats.
To make fresh meat rich and nutritious it should be placed in a ket-
tle of boiling water, skimmed well as soon as it begins to boil again,
and placed where it will slowly boil. Turn meat occasionally and
keep well under water and fresh hot water supplied as it evapor-
ates in boiling. Boil gently, as rapid boiling hardens the fiber and
renders the meat hard and tasteless. No salt should be added until
the meat is nearly done, as it extracts the juices if added too soon.
Salt meats should be put on in cold water, so that it may freshen in
cooking; as soon as water boils (if meat is very salt), replace by
fresh cold water, the water being changed until it remains fresh
enough to give meat a palatable flavor when done. Allow twenty
minutes to the pound for fresh meats, and twenty-five for salt and
smoked meats; the time to be modified, of course, by the quantity of
meat. The broth of boiled meats should always be saved to use in
soups, stews and gravies. A pod of red pepper in the water will
prevent the unpleasant odor from filling the house.
BEEFSTEAK BROILED.
To cook a good, juicy steak never pound it, but slash it several
times across each way ; lay upon a gridiron well greased : have a nice
bright fire and broil quickly without burning; if the coals blaze from
tlie drippings, sprinkle on a little salt, which will instantly extinguish
the flames. Steak should be turned constantly while broiling, and to
be rare should not cook over three minutes; butter, pepper and salt
well after taking up. Serve on a hot platter. Mrs. W. W.
BEEFSTEAK FRIED.
Put the steak into a very hot frying pan; after it has remained

SWEETBREADS.
A sweetbread is the thymus gland of lamb or calf, but in cook-
ery, veal sweetbreads only are considered.
A sweetbread consists of 2 parts. The round, compact part is
called the heart sweetbread, and is the most desirable. Sweetbreads
spoil quickly. They should be removed from paper as soon as re-
ceived, and plunged into cold water and allowed to stand one hour,
drained and put into acidulated, salted, boiling water; cook slowly
twenty minutes ; drain ; plunge into cold water that they may be
firm and white. Sweetbreads are always parboiled in this way for
further cooking. Mrs. Farmer.
Sweetbreads are quite as. frequently employed as ingredients in
sundry made dishes, as served alone and as they do not possess a
very decided natural flavor they need to be accompanied by a high-
ly seasoned sauce or they will taste rather insipid. They are in
full season from May to August.

SAUCES
STOCK.
Stock is the basis of all meat sauces, soups and purees. It if
really the juice of meat extracted by long and gentle simmering, and
in making it, it should be remembered that the object to be aimed
at is to draw the goodness of the material out into the liquor. It
46 THE WARREN COOK BOOK
may be prepared in various ways, richly and expensively or econ-
omically. All general stocks, or stock which is to be used for mis-
cellaneous purposes, should be simply made, that is, all flavoring in-
gredients should be omitted entirely until its use is decided upon.
The stock will keep longer than it would do if vegetables, herbs
and spices were boiled in it, besides which the flavoring can be
adapted to its special purpose. To ensure its keeping, stocks should
be boiled and skimmed every day in summer and every other day in
winter. The pan and lid used in iiaiking it should be scrupulously
clean. Excellent stock is made constantly with the bones and
trimmings of meat and poultry, with the addition, or not, of a little
fresh meat, or a portion of extract of meat. A good cook will
never be without stock as broken remnants of all kinds will find
their way to the stock-pot, and will not be thrown away until, by
gentle stewing they have been made to yield to the utmost what-
ever of flavor and goodness they possessed. The liquor in which
fresh meat has been boiled should always be used as stock.

POULTRY AND GAME
Mrs. L. G. Noyes
Poultry includes all domestic birds suitable for food, except
pigeon and squab, examples: — Chicken, fowl, turkey, duck, goose,
etc. Game includes such birds and animals suitable for food as are
pursued and taken in field and forest ; examples : — quail, partridge,
Avild duck, plover, deer, etc. The flesh of game, with the exception
of wild duck and wild geese is tender and contains less fat than
poultry and is of fine flavor. Game meat is of dark color, partridge
and quail being exceptions, and is usually cooked rare.
The great secret of cooking game is constant basting, it should
be under done, red in the middle full of gravy, but not raw.
BOILED FOWL.
Dress, clean and truss a fowl ; tie in a piece of cheesecloth,
otherwise scum will settle on skin and discolor it; place in kettJe
half surrounded with boiling water; cover; cook slowly until ten-

with egg, oyster, or celery sauce.
ROAST CHICKEN.
AVhen the chicken is nicely dressed fill it with a dressing made
as follows : Take enough stale bread to fill the chicken and cut in
very fine pieces; then i)ut in a spider with 2 tablespoons of butter
and brown slightly ; when cool enough not to cook the egg, mix 3
eggs and enovigh milk to moisten nicely; pepper and salt to taste,
and for those Avho desire it, sage is an improvement ; put in the oven
and roast until tender; baste often. Mrs. D. D. Reed.
BROILED CHICKEN.
Dress for broiling; sprinkle Avith salt and pepper and place in
a well greased broiler; broil twenty minutes on a clear fire, turning
so that all parts may be equally browned. The flesh side must be
exposed to the fire the greater part of the time, as the skin side will
brown quickly. Chickens are so apt to burn while broiling that
many prefer to partially cook in oven ; place chicken in dripping-
Xmn, skin side down; sprinkle with salt and pepper; dot over with
butter; bake fifteen minutes in hot oven; then broil to finish cook-
ing.

Dress the rabbit; wipe well inside and out with a wet cloth;
then dry; cut down, splitting it into halves; then cut each into -1
pieces; finish the same as Fricassee of Chicken.
YOUNG HEN TURKEY.
Young hen turkeys are best for roasting; the legs should be
black, the skin white, the breast broad and fat. and the shorter the
neck the better. In the legs of fowls are ten oi- more tough ten-
dons, which in cooking, particularly in roasting, become hard and
bony. In turkeys these tendons are especially large and objection-
al)le. but if these be drawn and the leg skewered close to the body,
to avoid drying, the drumstick becomes almost equal in tenderness
and delicacy to the second joint, a thing greatly to be desired by
all those who enjoy the rich, dark meat of the fowl.

For a turkey weighing from 8 to 10 pounds, allow one loaf of
stale bakers' bread. 1 (\t. of oysters, 1 Jeraon. 2 roots of celery and

oughly cleaned and wiped dry before putting the stuffing in ; crumble
bread until very fine; season with pepper and salt; drain oysters,
setting the liquor aside ; now take a very sharp knife and peel off
the outer rind of the lemon, being careful not to have any of the bit-
ter and tough white skin left on ; out the peel in very small bits :
chop the Avhito part of the celery very fine, adding butter and juice
of lemon ; stir until thoroughly mixed ; then proceed to stuff' body
and crop. A turkey of the size spoken of requires at least two
hours baking, and should be basted frequently; the liquor of the
oysters should be put in the pan when the pan is first set in the
oven and this is to be used in liasting. The <:ible-'s should
be chopped fine and cooked in a basin on the top of the stove and
when the gravy is made, add them to it. Mrs. Fred Sill.

VEGETABLES
Mrs. J. W. Kitchen
Many green vegetables contain materials physiologically suited
to our needs ; better by far take iron as contained in vegetable
foods than from a bottle. People who cut from their diet the suc-
culent vegetables are continually taking drugs to bring about the
necessary natural conditions which might always be produced by
the judicious and regular use of green vegetables.
Mrs. Rorer says: "All vegetables should be put over the tiro
to cook in actually boiling water. Green or top ground vegetables
should have a teaspoonful of salt to each quart of water. Under-
ground vegetables should be salted after they are tender. "'
Mrs. Farmer of the Boston Cooking School says all vegetables
should be cooked in boiling salted water, except peas and beans,
which should be salted the last half hour. When noted teachers
thus disagree the modern cook may decide for herself and use salted
or unsalted boiling water for cooking vegetables as "experience, the
dear teacher," may dictate.

SALADS AND DRESSINGS. 65
SALADS AND DRESSING
Mrs. E. E. Allen
Salads made of greens slioiild always be served crisp and cold.
The vegetables should be thoroughly washed, allowed to stand in
cold or ice water until crisp, then drained and spread on a towel and
set aside in a cold place until serving time. Dressings may be
added at table or just before sending to table. If greens are allowed
to stand in dressing they will soon wilt. It should be remembered
that winter greens are raised under glass and should be treated as
any other hot house plant. Lettuce will be affected by a change
of temperature and wilt just as quickly as delicate flowers.
Canned or cold cooked left over vegetables are well utilized in
salads, but are best mixed wnth French dressing and allowed to
stand in a cold place one hour before serving. Where several vege-
tables are used in the same salad they should be marinated separ-
ately, and arranged for serving just before sending to the table.
Meat for salads should be freed from skin and gristle, cut in
small cubes, and allowed to stand mixed with French Dressing be-
fore combining with vegetables. Fish should be flaked or cut in
cubes.
Where salads are dressed at the table, first sprinkle with salt
and pepper, add oil. and lastly, vinegar. If vinegar is added before
oil, the greens will become wet. and oil will not cling, but settle to
bottom of bowl.
To Marinate : — The word marinate used in cookery, means to
add salt, pepper, oil and vinegar to a salad ingredient or mixture
and let stand until well seasoned.

CROQUETTES.
The secret of making croquettes firm lies in their being mixed
for a long time. The meat should be chopped or ground very fine
after being freed from all gristle and bone and fat. Allow V2 pt-
of milk to every pint of meat. The milk should be put over the fire,
while a tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons of flour are rubbed to-
gether; the hot milk is then added, and the whole cooked to a thick
smooth paste ; add to your chopped meat a tablespoon of chopped
jjarsley, salt and pepper to taste ; a little grated rind of lemon and
a teaspoon of onion juice; then stir the seasoned meat into the
paste and let stand at least two hours before it is moulded into cro-
quettes . Dip first in eggs ; then in bread crumbs ; then fry in smok-
ing hot lard or AVesson's cooking oil. Sweet potatoes make a nice
croquette with only the parsley, salt and pepper, w^ith a pinch of pa-
prica for seasoning. Mrs. S. E. AValker.

BREAD
Mrs. D. Cowan
The old saying. "Broad is the staff of life" has sound reason in
it. Good bread makes the homeliest me^l aeceptable, and the coars-
est fare a])i)etizing, while the most luxurious table is not even tol-
erable without it. Opinions as to what constitutes good bread
diflFer. perhaps as much as tastes and opinions concerning anything
else, but all will agree that bread to be good ought to be light and
sweet — that is, free from any perceptible acid or yeasty taste —
flaky, granular, or not liable to become a doughy mass and as white
as the grade of flour used will allow.
To obtain these qualities in bread, use the best flour. The
best is cheapest. The Minnesota hard si)ring wheat is the equal of
the best and is so much superior in strength that i/s less is used in
all receipts for bread. No rule can be given bv which an inexper-
ienced person can determine the grade of flour with accuracy, but
a few hints will enable anyone to know what not to buy. Good
flour adheres to the hand, and. when pressed, shows the imprint of
the lines of the skin. Its tint is cream white. Never buy that
which has a blue-white tinge. Poor flour is not adhesive, may be
blown about easily, and sometimes has a dingy look. In no event
should flour be used without being sifted. It seems like a simple
process to make bread, but it requires a delicate care and watchful-
ness. The process which raises bread successfully in winter, will
often make it sour in the summer. One may have valuable recipes
and well defined methods in detail, but nothing but experience will
secure the name merited by so few although coveted by every prac-
tical houskeeper, an excellent bread maker. Three things are indis-
pensable to success, good flour, good yeast and watchful care. As a
general rule one small teacup of yeast and 3 pts of "wetting will
make sponge enough for 4 ordinary loaves of bread; or. if you pre-
fer, a little more than 3 pts. of "wetting" and 1 compressed yeast
cake will make the same amount. In all cases add the yeast last,
making sure that the sponge is not hot enough to scald it. When
]>laced to rise, cover closely. A temperature of eighty or ninety
degrees is right. It is an improvement to beat the sponge thorough-
ly for fifteen minutes.
To make good bread always be up in morning early to prevent
the sponge becoming sour by too long standing, and in winter to be
getting materials warmed and in readiness for use.
104 THE WARREN COOK BOOK
THE SPONGE.
This is made from warm water or milk, yeast and flour, (some
add mashed potatoes), mixed together in the proportion of 1 pt.
wetting, (water or milk), to 2 pts. sifted flour; when milk is used
it must be first scalded and then cooled to blood heat. The scald-
ing tends to prevent souring. If the wetting is too hot the bread
will be coarse ; when water is used a tablespoon of lard or butter
makes the bread more tender. Bread made from milk is of course
more tender and nutritious and requires less flour and less knead-
ing. "The Buckeye."
YEAST.
3 large, old potatoes pared, soaked and boiled until broken in
small pieces ; % cup of loose hops boiled in 1 qt. of water ; drain and
mash potatoes ; add the hop water and enough more hot water to make
2 qts. ; strain, rubbing all the potato through ; put it on to boil, and
when boiling add % of a cup of flour which has been wet to a
smooth paste in cold water, and % of a cup of sugar ; boil five min-
utes, stirring well ; let cool ; add % of a cup of yeast and when
well risen add Y^ cup of salt; keep in a covered jar in a cool cellar.
Bread made of this yeast will not sour even in hot weather.
Mrs. "W. J. Alexander.

ENTIRE WHEAT BREAD .
2 generous qts. of unsifted flour, IVU pts. Avarm water, 1 table-
spoon butter, 1 tablespoon sugar. Vo tablespoon salt, H cake com-
pressed yeast or 1/0 cup home-made yeast.
This will make 2 loaves of bread and a pan of rolls. Many peo-
ple confound entire wheat flour with graham, but it is very differ-
ent. Graham is a coarse-ground wheat meal; entire wheat flour is
the whole wheat-^with the coarse husk discarded, of course — ground
to a fine flour. It gives a brown loaf or roll, but a delicious one^
smooth and fine.
After sifting the flour into a bread bowl, put aside a cupful for
use in kneading the bread later, and put the sugar and salt with the
remainder. If the yeast be compressed, dissolve it in a small quan-
tity of water ; pour the remaining water and the yeast into the bowl,
and finally add the butter, somewhat softened by standing in a warm
place for a while ; beat the dough vigorously with a strong spoon,
and when it gets smooth and light, sprinkle a moulding board with
a part of the flour that was reserved, and turn the dough out upon
the board ; knead until smooth and elastic, say from twenty minutes
to 1/2 an hour ; then return to the bowl, and after covering first with
a clean towel and then with a tin or wooden cover; let it rise for
about eight hours in a temperature of about 70 degrees. If the tem-
perature be lower than 70 degrees, more time will be required for the
rising, and, of course, if it will be higher, less time will be needed.
If the dough be mixed in the morning and kept for four or five
hours in a temperature of 80 or 90 degrees, it will be in a condition
for baking in the afternoon. When it has risen, butter lightly 2
bread pans and 1 roll pan. Make enough rolls to fill the pan. shap-

GRIDDLE CAKES.
In cooking pancakes and waffles, be sure to use only enough
grease to keep them from sticking to the griddle or waffle iron.
Have the griddle hot ; cook the cakes until the edges are full of bub-
bles; then turn. If doughey inside, the griddle is too hot; if
leathery and heavy, not hot enough. A teaspoon of brown sugar
will make cakes brown nicely. The addition of some soaked bread
crumbs, mashed fine, or a little cold rice soaked in milk until soft,
makes them very tender and delicious.

milk to the right consistency and add 1 teaspoon soda ; bake on a

Buckwheat batter can be kept perfectly sweet by pouring cold
water over that left from one morning, and which is intended to be
used for raising the next morning's cakes. Fill the \'essel entirely
full of water and put in a cool place; when ready to use, pour off
the water, which absorbs the acidity.

CHAFING DISH
Miss Mary White
The chafing dish, wliieh, within the last few years has gained so
much favor, is by no means a utensil of modern invention, as its his-
tory may be traced to the time of Louis XIV.
The simple tin chafing dishes may be bought for as small a
sum as 90 cents, while tJie elaborate silver ones command as high a
price as $100. Very attractive ones are made of granite ware, nickel
or copper. The latest patterns have a screw adjustment to regulate
the flame and a metal tray on which to set the dish.
A chafing dish has 2 pans, the under one for holding hot water,
the upper one with long handle for holding food to be cooked. A
blazer differs from a chafing dish, inasmuch as it has no hot w^ater
pan. Wood alcohol is often used instead of the high proof spirits.
List of dishes previously given that may be prepared in the
chafing dish : Eggs and Cheese, Egg Fondue, Scrambled Eggs with
Tomato, Creamed Fish, Creamed Chicken, Fish on Toast, Barbecued
Ijamb, Frizzled Beef, Creamed Beef. Creamed Sweetbreads. Veal on
Toast.

Layer Cakes, Fillings and Frostings
Mrs. William Hammond
To insure success in the making of any kind of cake, use none
but the best ingredients; then exercise great care and judgment in
the mixing and baking.
The essentials for good cake are fresh eggs, fine granulated
sugar, pastry flour and best butter.
To mix butter cakes, measure dry ingredients and mix and sift
baking powder and spices, if used, with the flour. Break each egg
separately, thus avoiding loss should a stale egg chance to be found
among the number, separating the whites from yolks, if the rule so
specifies.
Measure butter, then liquid. Place the butter which should be
soft, but not melted, together with the sugar in an earthen bowl;
rub together until creamy, add yolks of eggs or whole eggs, beaten
until light, liquid, and flour mixed and sifted with baking powder.
When whites alone are used fold into the batter the last thing be-
fore baking.
Cake can be made fine grained only by long beating. Do not
stir, but beat thoroughly, bringing the batter up from the bottom
of the dish at every stroke, thus driving the air into the cells of
the batter. Unskilled mixing, too rapid or unequal baking, or a
sudden decrease in heat before it is quite done, will cause streaks
in the cake. Fruit, when added to a cake, is usually floured to pre-
vent settling to the bottom. Raisins should be seeded, then cut with
scissors, rather than chopped.
Grease the pans with melted butter, lining the bottom with thin
paper, taking care that it does not project over the sides. In
filling^ the pans, have the mixture come well to the corners and sides
of the pans, so that when the cake is baked it will be perfectly flat
on top. The baking of cake is quite as important a feature as mix-
ing. • Many a well mixed cake has been spoiled in the baking. Ex-
perience alone can teach one what the temperature of the oven
should be for the different cakes. Cake should be watched closely
while in the oven, opening and shutting the door carefully. Do not
move the cake in the oven unless positively necessary, then do it
gently. When done cake shrinks from the pan, and in most cases
this is sufficient test, but if in doubt try with a broom splint and
if the dough does not adhere, it is done. When removed from the
oven, allow it to stand five minutes; then invert the pan on a board
covered with fibre paper, and the cake will fall out. If the cake is
inclined to stick to the sides, loosen with a knife before inverting.
Allow the cake to cool before icing. Mrs. Hammond.

AVhites of 11 eggs, lVi> t-'iips gi-uiiulated sugar, 1 cup flour, 1
teaspoon cream of tartar, little salt, 1/9 teaspoon Royce's vanilla,
yolks of 5 eggs. The secret in this cake is to have the eggs fresh
and cold: measure flour after sifting once; sift flour, sugar and
cream of tartar together four or five times, so they will be light
and well mixed; break the eggs, whites only, onto a large platter
or bowl ; beat thorn with the salt to a stiff dry froth ; add the va-
nilla; then sift the flour in a little at a time, and stir but do not
beat. AVe call it folding; beat the yolks of 5 eggs very light and
fold into the cake; use a tin with removable bottom, and legs, and
never grease such a tin for cake of any kind; bake about one hour
in a moderate oven. If the oven bakes fast on the top put paper
over it and put a couple of tin cans in the oven to hold the paper
up, so the cake, as it rises, wnll not touch the paper. Do not open
the oven door the first fifteen minutes, then if it has not raised any.
turn on a little more gas. AVhen you take it out of the oven turn
bottom side up until cold ; then run a knife around and it will drop

COFFEE .
Coffee for family use should be bought in small quantities,
freshly roasted and if one has a coffee mill, ground at home as need-
ed, because after being ground unless kept air tight, it quickly de-
teriorates. If not bought in air tight cans with tight fitting cover,
it should be emptied into canister as soon as brought from the gro-
cer's.
Coffee may be served as filtered coffee, infusion of coffee, or de-
coction of coffee. Commonly speaking, boiled coffee is preferred,
and is more economical for the consumer. According to the way in
which it is to be made, coft'ee is ground fine, medium and coarse. In
making filtered coffee it should be ground fine, for boiled, coarse or
medium .
FILTERED COFFEE.
I cup finely ground coft'ee, 6 cups boiling water; place coffee
in strainer, strainer in coffeepot, and pot on the range ; add gradual-

BRAN COFFEE.
Use a tablespoon of the above mixture to a person, and put in
a tarleton bag in either hot or cold vv^ater. A bit of butter size of
bean will prevent boiling over. Let boil at least i/> hour. This coffee
warmed over is even better than at fii'st. ]\[rs. J\I. J. Danfnrth.
TEA.
Black Tea is made from leaves which have been allowed to fer-
ment before curing. Green Tea is made from unfermented leaves
artificially colored. Freshly boiled water should be used for nuiking
tea. Boiled, because below the boiling point the stimnlating prop-
.-i'ty, theine, would not be e;ctraeted. Freshly boiled, because lon^
cooking renders it flat and insipid to taste on accpunt of escape of
its atmospheHc gases. Tea should always be infused, never boiled.
Long steeping destroys the delicate flavor by developing a larger
amount of tannic acid.
HOW TO MAKE TEA.
3 teaspoons tea, 2 cups boiling water; scald an earthen or china
tea pot: put in tea, and pour on l)oiling water; let it stand in a
^varm place for five minutes.

HOW BOILED WATER MAY BE MADE PALATABLE.
FIRST, Take exactly 2 gallons of water. If the water is not
clear, beat up the white of 1 egg and add to the water before boil
uig. This will gather up every particle of foreign matter in the
water and carry it to the bottom of the vessel. The water should he
1)rought to a brisk boil and then stood aside to cool and settle.
SPjCOND, Pour off the clear water and stir into it a level tea-
spoon of bicarbonate of soda ; then stir in % teaspoon of hydrochloric
acid. This will make the water perfectly safe, sparkling and re-
freshing without any flat taste. Cassius Gillette.
Chief of the Bureau of Filtration of Philadelphia.
ICE CREAM, ICES, ETC. 205
ICE CREAM, ICES, ETC.
Mrs. A. R. Blood
Under frozen dishes we include :
Ice Cream — Thin cream or custard foundation, sweetened, flavor-
ed and frozen.
Water-ice — Any fruit juice, diluted with water, sweetened and
frozen .
Sherbet — AYater Ice to which has been added gelatine or whites
of eggs.
Frappe — Water Ice frozen only to the consistency of mush.
JNIousse or Parfait — Cream, whipped, flavored and sweetened,
placed in moulds, packed in ice and salt and allowed to stand three
or four hours.
DIRECTIONS FOR FREEZING DESSERTS.
Frozen dishes are perhaps the easiest desserts to be prepared if
one is provided with a good freezer, ice shave, or burlap bag and axe,
sufficient ice and coarse salt. Snow may be used instead of ice, but
as it is not easily acted upon by the salt, pour water upon the snow
and salt until it is slushy. Never draw off the salt water until the
mixture is frozen unless there is danger of its getting into the can,
for this salt water is what effects freezing.
Shave ice, or if you haven't an ice shave, put the ice in a burlap
bag and pound it fine with the broad side of an axe. Adjust can con-
taining mixture to be frozen in the wooden tub, fasten the crank,
and give it a turn to see that the can fits in the socket. Allow three
measures of ice to one of salt for ice cream, sherbet or water ice,
while equal parts of ice and salt should be used for freezing frappe,
and packing mousse or parfait. If only a small quantity is to be
frozen, the ice and salt need come but little higher in the tub than
the mixture in the can, otherwise fill tub to top of can. As the mix-
lure increases in bulk when freezing, the can should never be more
than 34 filled. Turn the crank slowly and steadily until it goes pret-
ty hard. After mixture is partly frozen the crank may be turned
more rapidly. Add more ice and salt as needed. In freezing water
ices turn the crank slowly for a few minutes, then rest for about five
minutes, turn slowly again and again rest. Continue this until the
water ice is frozen quite hard. It requires a much longer time to
freeze water ice than ice cream. If you are making a sherbet in-
stead of a water ice turn dasher rapidly until the mixture is frozen
pretty hard. After mixture is frozen, draw off water; remove
206 THE "WARKEN COOK BOOK
dasher ; with a large wooden spatula scrape the cream from the sides
of the can, then beat and work it for a number of minntes ; put lid
on the can, with a cork in the opening; repack with icf and salt, us-
ing now four measures of ice to one of salt; cover the tub with a
piece of carpet or with newspapers and set away for one or two hours
to ripen. Water ices and sherbets should be given three or four
hours for this ripening process, by which we mean the blending of
the different ingredients. When ready to serve, dip can in cold
water, wipe, then turn cream out on a dish. If you wish to mould
the frozen mixture, do not freeze too hard. Fill the mould or form
with the mixture, being careful to fill every part of the mould. Cover
with buttered paper, buttered side up. Put on cover and press down.

FOOD FOR THE SICK. 2 1 1
FOOD FOR THE SICK
Mrs. W. S. Pierce
i\Iany persons think that the more they eat the more strength
they will have, forgetting that they are only able to assimilate the
amount of necessary nourishment and all over this is worse than
-wasted, for it clogs the system in its removal. It was Balzac who
said, "if there is anything sadder than unrecognized genius, it Is
a misunderstood stomach."'
Statistics jirov.e that % of all disease is brought about by er-
ror in diet. The correct proportions of food-principles have n(jt
been maintained, or the food has been improperly cooked. Physic-
ians agree, with but few exceptions, that the proper preparation of
food for the sick is of as great importance in the restoration to
health as administration of drugs. Time and manner of serving are
of ecpial importance. Take especial care in setting an invalid's tray
Cover with a spotless tray-cloth or napkin. Avoid having too mam
things on the tray at one time. Salt may appear, but pepper never
Foods which are intended to be served hot should be placed in heat
ed dishes and kept covered during transit from kitchen. Equal care
i-hould be taken to have cold foods served cold. Serve in small quan-
tities. The sight of too much food often destroys the appetite.
If patient is restricted to milk diet and milk is somewhat objec-
tionable, it may be tolerated by serving in different ways, such as
koumiss, albumenized milk, or by adding Apollinaris, seltzer water
or rennet.
BARLEY WATER AND RICE WATER.
Are generally used to reduce a laxative condition. Toast water
is often useful in cases of extreme nausea. Fruit waters are princi-
])ally used for fever patients. They are cooling, refreshincr ai>d mdd-
I> stiDinlating and vahi;ible fur the salts and acids they (Contain.
Beef essence, which is the expressed juices of beef, being nutritious,
is given when a condensed form of food is necessary. Beef tea con-
tains the juices 01 beef diluted Avith water, and is given as a stim-
ulant, rather than a nutrient, as is generally supposed.
Egg-nogs are recommended where it is necessary to take a
large amount of nutriment daily, as is often the case after a severe
illness.
Corn and oatmeal gruels are heat producing and should never
be given when inflammatory syii^ptoms are present.
ArroAvroot makes a delicate gruel and is more easily digested
than anv other form of starch. Tt should never be given to infants.
2 1 8 THE WARREN COOK BOOK.
Foods should be nutritious, easy of assimilation, in small quan-
tities, at regular intervals. After the completion of a meal, the tray
should be removed at once, from the sick room, milk should be cov-
ered while in the room and if any is left in the glass it must be
thrown away.

quite cold. G. D. P
BEEF TEA.
Beef tea is the juice of the beef diluted with water. Care should
be exercised in the selection of the beef as it should be juicy and of
good flavor. The back and middle of the rump and the top of th-;
round is the best for this purpose. Tenderloin steak sliould never
be used. 1 pound of lean steak ; remove all fat, skin and membrane ;

JELLIES
Mrs. C. H. Smith
Jellies are made from fruit juice and sugar in nearly all cases
proportions being equal. When failures occur, they may usually
be traced to the use of too ripe fruit ; or a damp atmosphere. If a
possible thing, try and make it on a clear day.
To Prepare Glasses — AVash and put on back of range to get
hot, or wipe them from hot water when jelly is almost finished.
To Cover Jelly Glasses — Melt parafine wax; put one large
tablespoon over each top after jelly is perfectly cold — cover with the
regular top or paper and plainly mark each glass and set in cold,
but dry place.
Always heat your sugar before adding it to the hot juice ; put
it in a granite dish, or a dripper; put in the oven lea\ing the door
open and stir occasionally.
To Make Jelly Bag — Fold two opposite corners of cheese cloth
or cotton and wool flannel 44 yards long: sew up in form of a corn-
ucopia, rouuding at the end: fell or French seam to make strong;
bind the top with tape and finish with two or three loops.
BAR-le-DUC JELLY.
This jelly requires time and patience, but amply repays the
maker for her trouble, if made in small quantities, and is much less
expensive than the imported article. Either white or red currants
may be used, not over-ripe. Stem and wash the currants ; spread
on a soft towel ; cover with another towel, and pat gently to remove
all moisture. Now take an ordinary unused steel pen ; open each
currant and scoop out the seeds and juice into a bowl; save the
skins in another bowl. To % bowl of juice and seeds, add H bowl
(.f currants unseeded ; mash and put on to boil. When hot. add one
bowl and a quarter of granulated sugar ; boil ten minutes and strain
through a fine wire sieve. Now add a good half bowl of currant
skins to the syrup thus formed and boil slowly about fifteen min-
utes. A few seeds will adhere to the skins, but do not attempt to
remove them all, as it would crush the skins too much ; pour into
jelly glasses. When set, cover with parafine. This makes five or
six glasses. Mrs. W. D. Hinckley.
BLACKBERRY JELLY NO. I.
Blackberries are best for jelly when partly red ; cook them to
a pulp with a little water; then strain; use pound of sugar to a pt
of juice.

try by putting a teaspoon of the liquid in a cool place and when
it jellies pour into glasses.
BLACK RASPBERRIES AND CURRANT JELLY.
l"^se black raspberi'ies and currants in about efpial parts, a few
more berries than currants if desired ; cook and proceed as for
blackberry jelly.

Currants are usually in best condition between June 28 and July
3. Cherry currants make the best jelly, equal portions red and
white currants are desirable and make a lighter colored jelly; pick

a little water; cook slowly until currants look white; put in bag. and
drain; measure; bring to boiling point; boil eight minutes; add hot
sugar, (pt. of sugar to a pt. of juice); boil three minutes; pour in
glasses.
CURRANT JELLY NO. II.
Put fruit in a stone jar and set in a kettle of tepid w^ater; boil
until the fruit is well softened, stirring frequently; put in a jelly bag
and let drip a few hours; boil juice just tw^enty minutes; add hot
sugar; let boil five more; pour into glasses. Mrs. Ella Darling.
CURRANT JELLY NO. III.
Squeeze juice from currants without cooking; boil juice twenty
minutes; then add 1 pound of hot sugar for each pint of juice; stir
well together and boil five minutes.
Mrs. A. K. Blood and Mrs. J. AV. Lees.
CRAB APPLE JELLY.
Wash ap])les; remove stems and blossoms and cut in (piai'tcT's;
put in kettle and add cold w^ater to come nearly to top of apples:
cook slowly until apples are soft; mash and drain through a coarse
sieve; avoid squeezing apples which makes jelly cloudy; then allow
juice to drip through the bag; boil twenty miinites; add equal quan-
tity of hot sugar; boil five minutes; skim and turn into glasses; fol-
low same directions for apple jelly, the juice of one or two lemons
improves either kind.

HUCKLEBERRY JELLY.
When canning huckleberries, take some of the superfluous juice
and make jelly of it in the same manner as other fruit jellies ex-
cept that not more than % cup of sugar for a cup of juice is neces-
sary. It makes a delicious jelly. Mrs. Kichards.

ly. If not, cook a few minutes longer ; skim and pour into glasses.
Mrs. C. H. Smith.
When currants are best and cheapest get enough to make all the
juice you wish for jelly ; cook and drain ; then heat juice and can
hot (no sugar..) The juice will keep until other fruits are cheaper
and when one wishes to make raspberry, blackberry or peach ielly,
add part currant juice which insures making it jell.

CANNED FRUITS AND PRESERVES 229
Canned Fruits and Preserves
Mrs. C. L. Clough
Fruit for canning should be fresh, firm, of good quality, and not
over-ripe. If over-ripe, some of the spores may survive the boiling,
then fermentation will take place in a short time.
For canning fruit, use % as much sugar as fruit and 2I/2. to 3
cups water to each pound of sugar; make a syrup of the sugar and
water cooking ten minutes ; add a small quantity of the fruit at a
time ; by so doing, fruit may be kept in perfect shape. Fill sterile
jars with fruit, and enough syrup added to overflow jars. If there
is not sufficient syrup, add boiling water, as jars must be filled to
overflow. Introduce a spoon between fruit and jar, that air bubbles
may rise to the top, quickly put on rubber and screw on sterilized
covers, being sure that the jars are air tight.
PRESERVING, — Use % or equal amount of sugar with fruit.
Large fruit may be left whole or cut in halves.
TO STERILIZE JARS.
"Wash jars and fill with cold water: place in a large kettle and
surround with cold water ; heat gradually to boiling point ; remove
from water, empty, and fill while hot with fruit ; place tops in water
to sterilize; dip rubbers in hot water, but do not allow them to stand.
New rubbers should be used each season, and care must be taken that
rims of covers are not bent, as jars cannot then be hermetically
sealed.
SMALL FRUITS.
Be careful in selection of fruits; remove stones or hulls, if any;
put in porcelain kettle with granulated sugar on top in the propor-
tion of ] cup of sugar to 1 qt. of fruit ; let stand for an hour or sn
as this keeps fruits whole ; set on stove with a little water in the bot-
tom, to prevent burning stir up from bottom once or twice; boil five
or six minutes. Mrs. W. D. Hinckley.
AMBROSIA.
1 bowl of grated pineapple, 2 bowls of mashed strawberries. 3
bowls of granulated sugar; mix together and boil slowly till thick;

boiling syrup from the other kettle; seal can and proceed in the same
manner with rest. It is not best to cook more than enough to fill 2
or 3 cans at a time. Always run a silver fork handle down inside
the can two or three times to let out air bubbles. Plums and cherries
may be put up in the same way, allowing them to cook until skins

CANNED VEGETABLES. 23?
CANNED VEGETABLES
Mrs. W. E. Rice
Fruits and vegetables to be sterile must be thoroughly heated.
All jars and covers must be sterile and the housewife must observe
surgical cleanliness.
If the housewife understands the real definition of sterilization,
the canning of vegetables becomes an easy process. Peas, corn and
beets contain sugar which furnish nourishment and food for yeast
plants and bacteria, which make them more difficult to keep than
fruits rich in acids.
Young lima beans, young green peas and sweet corn are easily
dried and are much more palatable than those canned, if properly
soaked and carefully cooked.
Dried cabbage, spinach, cauliflower and beets are sold by lirst-
class grocers.
Eggs are dried to use in winter when eggs are scarce and ex-
pensive. Mrs. Rorer.
ASPARAGUS.
Wash, trim, cover Avith boiling water; boil rapidly for fifteen
minutes ; then drain and arrange, heads up, in wide-mouthed jars.
Adjust rubbers, fill the jars to overflowing with water (that has been
boiled and cooled) ; add a teaspoon salt and lay on rubbers and lids
loosely. Stand the jars in the boiler on top of rack, surround half
way with cold water; cover the boiler; bring quickly to boiling
point and boil for liA hours; lift out 1 jar at a time; ouickly fasten
or screw down top without lifting it from the jar; keep protected
from draught until cool.
BEETS.
AVash young beets; throw into boiling water and cook for Vo
hour; remove skins; pack the beets in jars; add i/^ pt. vinegar to a
qt. water (that has been boiled and cooled) : fill the jars and cook %
(if an hour; follow directions for Asparagus.

PICKLES. 239
PIC LKES
Mrs. T. S. McNett
GENERAL DIRECTIONS.
In making pickles use none but the best cider vinegar, and boil
in a porcelain kettle — never in metal. A small lump of alum dis-
solved and added when scalding pickles the first time, renders them
crisp and tender, but too much is injurious. Keep in glass or stone-
ware; look at them frequently and remove all soft ones; if white
specks appear in the vinegar; drain off and scald, adding a liberal
iiandful of sugar to each gallon, and pour again over the pickles ;
liits of horserdish and a few cloves assist in preserving the life of the
vinegar. If put away in large stone jars, invert a saucer over the
top of the pickles, so as to keep well under the vinegar. The nicest
way to put up pickles is bottling, sealing while hot, and keeping in
a cool, dark place. Many think that mustard (the large white or
mellow) improves pickles, especially those chopped and bottled, and
mangoes. Never put up pickles m any thinir that has held any kind
of Grrease. and ne\'f'r let them freeze. T'se an oaken tub or cask for
pickles in brine, keep them well under, and have more salt thaji will
<lissolv(\ so that there will always be plenty at the bottom of the
cask. All pickles should be kept from the air as much as possible.
In making sweet pickles, use best brown sugar, "Coffee C," or good
maple sugar.
BEAN PICKLES.
Pick green beans when young and tender; string and place in a
kettle to boil with salt to taste, until they can be pierced witli a
fork; drain well through a colander; put in a stone jar; sprinkle
Avith ground black and cayenne pepper, and cover with strong cider
\ megar, sugar may be added if desirable. Approved.
PICKLED BLACKBERRIES
Take 4 pounds sugar to 7 pounds fruit. 1 pt. vinegar. 2 ounces

look red, skim out into a crock; let the juice cook down until
(juite rich ; then pour over berries. Perhaps in a week or tvro you
Avill need to repeat cooking. ]\Irs. Dwiglit CoAvan.

DIRECTIONS FOR PULLING CANDY.
('andy to be pulled must l)e eooked until it is brittle wlien cool,
therefore, the i)ulling must bejrin with the first hardening of the
edges of the candy in the buttered pans ; work steadily, adding a lit-
tle at a time as it cools sufficiently until it is all taken up. If the
warmth of the hands is not sufficient work over a stove, as keeping
the candy warm facilitates the process. Faithful work for V^ hour,
never less time, makes the candy light, smooth, brittle, yet with that
melting quality so desirable. Mrs. Jane Orr.

TO REMOVE STAINS FROM LINEN.
BERRY STAINS. — Place garment over pan and slowly pour
on boiling water until the stain disappears.
TEA, COFFEE AND CHOCOLATE STAINS.— If cold water
fails to remove, dip in diluted javelle water, which like oxalic acid
solution, should always be kept on hand. See recipes below.
PEACH, PEAR AND GRAPE STAINS require acid. Use Oxalic
Acid Solution on stains, being careful to rinse well in water as soon
as stain disappears, as the acid will eat linen if not well rinsed out.
MISCELLANEOUS. 263
MILDEW will disappear if persistently wet in buttermilk and
laid in the sun, but it is easier to use chloride of lime. Put a little
lime in cold water and stir until dissolved; then strain through cheese
cloth and pour over stained spots; watch carefully and as soon as
bleached out, rins(> in 8 oi- 4 waters to remove every particle of lime.
INK STAINS shouUl l)e soaked in fresh milk or washed in salt
and water and then sponged with lemon juice. Vinegar will take ink
out of carpets. Peroxide Hydrogen is used successfully in cciiioving
ink from colored goods.
IRON RUST. — Dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a tablespoon or
more of lemon juice and apply to stain, then hang in the sun. Sev-
eral applications may bo necessary 'before the stain is entirely re-
moved.
GRASS STAIN. — Either alcohol or molasses will remove grass
stain. Lard is also used successfully.
]\IACHINE OIL OR VASELINE.— Rub with soap and cold
water. Hot water sets the stain.
TAR. — Vse kerosene oil. or rub lard well into the tar; tlien i-iil)
with soap and hot water.
STAINS OF LONG STANDING.— Wet in cold water; dip in
javelle water for a minute or two ; then rinse in several waters ; dry
in the sun. If this fails the oxalic solution given below is infallil)le.
PAINT STAINS that are dry and old may bo romovcd from cot-
ton or woolen goods Avith chloroform.
BLOOD STAINS may in most cases be removed b,v soaking in
cold water with a little salt in it.
JAVELLE WATER. — Put 2 pounds of salsoda in a large granite
pan or stone jar; pour 4 qts. boiling water over it and stir ujitil well
dissolved ; add 1 pound chloride of lime and let stand a day or two,
stirring occasionally; let settle; then drain off clear portion and
strain into fruit jars.
TO WHITEN CLOTHES when Avashing, add a small teacup of
javelle water to a boiler of water; pour over well rubbed clothes; let
stand fifteen minutes, stirring occasionally that everj^ part may be
thoroughly scalded ; rinse well and dry.
OXALIC SOLUTION.— Put i^ ounce oxalic acid (crystalized)
in a T>t. bottle of water; when dissolved it is ready for use; plain-
ly label the bottle as it is very poisonaus. AftiM- an application of
this, the fabric should be quickly and well rinsed.
264 THE WARREN COOK BOOK
HELPFUL HINTS.
TO SCALD jMILK. — Put in double boiler, having water boiling;
cover, and let stand on range until milk around edge has a bead-like
appearance.
TO EXTRACT JUICE FROM ONION.— Cut a slice from root
end of onion ; draw back the skin and press onion on a coarse gratei",
working with a rotary motion.
TO CARAMELIZE SUGAR.— Put in a granite saucepan; place
over range and stir constantly until melted and of the color of maple
syrup. Care must be taken to prevent sugar from adhering to the
sides of the pan or spoon.
TO PREVENT SALT FROM LU:MPING — Mix with corn starch,
allowing 1 teaspoon cornstarch to 6 teaspoons salt.
TO "WASH CARAFES — Use handful of shot or rice in strong so-
lution of soda and shake well; or half fill with hot soapsuds, to which
is added 1 teaspoon washing soda. Put in new^spaper, torn in small
pieces. Let stand 1/2 hour, shaking occasionally. Empty, rinse witli
hot water, drain, wipe outside and let stand to dry inside.
TO CLEAN GRANITEWARE where mixtures have been burned
on. Fill wnth cold w^ater, add washing soda, pearline, or any soap
powder; heat gradually to boiling point, then empty when dish may
be easily washed.
TO KEEP A SINK DRAIN FREE FROM GREASE.— Pour down
once a week at night: i/o can Babbitt's potash dissolved in 1 quart
water.
A small piece of window glass will be useful for holding the
leaves apart on a cook book, and one can read the recii)e and not
soil the book by too much handling.
IF POTATOES HAVE BOILED DRY, setting the kettle in\-
mediately into cold water prevents a burned flavor. Boil a strong
solution of soda in the bui'ned kettle.
WHEN SINK DRAIN IS CHOKED pour into sink \\ pound cop-
peras, dissolved in 2 quarts boiling water. If this does not clear it.
repeat before sending for plumber.
TIE STRANDS OF A NEW BROOIM closely together; put into
a pail of boiling water, and soak 2 hours. Dry thorougiily before us-
ing.
BOTTLE CONTAINING OXALIC ACID should be marked poi-
son, and kept on a high shelf.
MISCELLANEOUS. 265

then with pulverized lime.
TO REI\rOVE PAINT FROM GLASS, dip a damp doth in l)ak-
ing soda and rub it over the spots.

one of the best remedies for a burn.
TO CLEAN WILLOW FURNITURE use salt and water; apply
with a nail brush. Scrub well and dry thoroughly.
TO BRIGHTEN BRASS scour with salt and vinegar.
FOR CLEANING BRASS OR COPPER, 4 oz. oxalic acid, 1 oz.
powdered rotten stone, 1 paper Mount Eagle Tripoli, 1 qt. water.
TO EXTERMINATE ROACHES or waterbugs ; sprinkle powder-
ed borax and sugar in places where they are found.
TO KEEP JELLY in ordinary glasses ; cover with melted par-
affine.
FISH may be scaled much easier by first dipping them into
boiling water for a minute.
SALT WILL CURDLE NEW MILK, hence, in preparing por-
ridge, gravies, etc., salt should not be added mil 11 the dish is pre-
pared.
^ TO BLANCH ALMONDS— Cover with boiling water and let
stand two minutes; drain; put into cold water and rub off skins;
dry between towels.
TO WHITEN CLOTHES add a teaspoon of powdered borax to
last water in which clothes are rinsed. This is especially good to
remove yellow that time gives to white garments that have beeti
laid aside for two or three years.
BREAD JARS AND CAKE BOXES should be scalded twice a
week in summer, sunning, if possible, to keep mold from gathei-ing
266 THE WARREN COOK BOOK
WASH BOILERS WHEN RUSTY may be cleaned with sweet
milk.
TO CLEAR HOT FAT throw in a few slices of raw potato.
IN PICKLING, alum helps to make the pickles crisp, while
liorseradish and nasturtium seeds prevent vinegar from becoming
muddy.
To beat the whites of eggs quickly, put in a pinch of salt.

Keep a slate in the kitchen once and you will never do without
it, as many trips to the grocery will be saved.
TO WASH BLACK CALICO, scald in salt and water to set the
color.
TO RESTORE FROZEN PLANTS, as soon as discovered pour
cold water over them, wetting every leaf thoroughly. In a few min-
utes it will become crystalized with a thick coating of ice. In this
state place them in the dark, carefully covered with a newspaper;
the ice will slowly melt, leaving the plants in their original state.
TO ]\IAKE FLAT IRONS SMOOTH rub them on fine salt. iv.>ep
a little beeswax in a cloth in the ironing blanket for the same pur--
pose.
TO CLEAN POLISHED FURNITURE, dip a chamois skin in
warm water and wipe carefully.
TO CLEAN OI^T STOVE PIPE, place a piece of zinc on live
coals in stove. The vapors produced carry off soot by chemical de-
composition.
STAINS ON HANDS may be removed by rubbing with salt
moistened with lemon juice. Then wash the hands in clear water.
Glaze the bottom crust of fruit pies with white of an egg and
they will not be soggy.
Place anything cooked in fat upon blotting paper and it will
not taste greasy.
Salt fish are soonest freshened in sour milk.
A dish of cold water placed in the oven will prevent a delicate
cake from burning.
MISCELLANEOUS. 261
1/2 yd. of cheese cloth makes a good dish cloth, if folded and
stitched.
A strip of muslin one inch wide, wet and placed to enclose the
edge of a pie, will keep the juice from boiling out.
FOR CHAPPED HANDS. One tablespoon lemon juice, 1 table-
spoon glycerine, 2 tablespoons alcohol and a few drops of i)erfume.
Shake the bottle well and rub a little on the hands after washing, be-
fore drying.

Burt Shoe
The Burt Shoe for women has
stood pre-eminent in the shoe
world for half a century, for
which there must be a reason.
Experts have always given the
Burt Shoe the highest awards
at the great expositions. They
saw the reason. Ladies who
have worn the Burt, know the
reason. On examination you
can see the reason. In origi-
nality of design, beauty of style
and perfection of fit. The Burt
Shoe is unequaled at $4.00.
